    Called to Greatness Mark 9:30-37 June 12, 2005 Morning Service Introduction A few weeks ago I was watching ESPN early one morning and I was listening to one commentator talk about one of the NBA teams that had made it to the Finals.

    Greatness is not determined by status. It is determined by service. So if you want to be truly great then follow the least, be the least, and serve the least

    Some time ago, I came across this piece written by a child. He imagines what it would be like if he were in charge of the world. If I were in charge of the world, he writes, I’d cancel oatmeal, Monday mornings, Allergy shots. If I were in charge of the world, There’d be brighter night lights, ...read more

    An Exposition of Mark 9:30-37

    When I Get Big, I Want to Be Little Mark 9:30-37 Children are born dreamers. You can watch them act out their dreams when they play and pretend. With a few plastic army men they wage earth-shaking battles; with a baby doll they practice being gentle, caring mothers. The sky is the limit in who ...read more

    A message on greatness learned from one of the disciples of Jesus.

    Mark 9:30-37 “How Do You Spell G-R-E-A-T?” 1. [Someone else reads text]. (Preached as the “other” disciple) Hello. Good morning. I’ve been asked to speak to you today on a very important topic; the topic of greatness. You see, I’m one of the disciples there when the events you heard today ...read more

    The Greatest

     | 19,788 views

    If we want to be the greatest disciple, greatness will not be found as the world defines it, but in servanthood and in embracing the least of God’s children.

    Sports fans will know that Muhammad Ali today is called the greatest. Ali himself used to tell everyone “I am the greatest,” but not everyone agreed, especially when he was younger. He became the greatest in the eyes of the world over the last 40 years. Muhammad Ali ...read more

     | 6,178 views

    In contrast to the ambition to acquire the applause and approval of men, Jesus turns his disciples toward the powerless -- toward children -- as exemplars of Himself, His Father, and the ones his disciples should seek to serve.

    Psalm 54, Wisdom 1:16 - 2:22, James 3:16-4:6, Mark 9:30-37 Apostles, Christians, and Children Sometimes, the disciples of Jesus don’t come off very well in the gospels, and today’s Gospel lesson is one of those times. Jesus tells them again, as he is doing more and more often at this point in ...read more

    Time magazine’s cover story this month was entitled, “Does God Want You to Be Rich?” The header said, “A growing number of Protestant evangelicals raise a joyful Yes!” The article opens with the story of George Adams, a man from Ohio who had lost his factory job.

    The Hidden World Of Service

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,364 views

    The contrast couldn’t be more stark. Jesus describes his ultimate act of service while the disciples argue over which of them will be the greatest! This sermon stealthily plunges the listener into this contrast; then pulls them out on the right side.

    My dear friends in Christ, I want to tell you about something that I didn’t really begin to figure out until I was about 24. Many of you figured it out long before you reached that age; some of you have not figured it out yet. But when someone finally does learn it, and it begins to sink ...read more

    Jesus talks about growing in stature, but he is not talking about height. He is talking about growing in servanthood.

    Growing in the Right Direction Mark 9:30-37 September 24, 2006 Depending on whom you talk to and who does the measuring, there is any number of different ways to measure a human being. If we wanted to get into an existential discussion of humanity, we would probably remember these famous maxims. ...read more

    On The Road With Jesus

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 28, 2006
     | 2,702 views

    Jesus taught the disciples but they did not always understand! This short homily encourages listeners to ask questions; it also reminds us that God knows about everything we do; and that is both comforting and challenging.

    Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin! Of course, it is always likely that God’s word will make us uncomfortable! When we turn to God’s word, seeking the voice of God, there is always plenty to hear; and this short Bible event is packed full of God’s wisdom, and God’s call to us. Jesus ...read more
